-- PRESENTATION: INTERVIEW CHRISTIAN TISSIER PART 4 --
Christian Tissier is a French Aikido practitioner, one of the very few non-Japanese in History to have reached the title of 8th Dan Shihan. He started Aikido at the age of 11 and is now one of the biggest influences in the International Aikido community.
Willing to get to the roots of his art, he embarked in the trans-Siberian train at the age of 18 for a journey to Japan, and started to train at the Aikikai Hombu Dojo where he stayed 7 years, honing his skills and learning the language and culture of Japan.

Now, at the age of 67, he gives seminar all around the globe throughout the year, including Japan. It is on one of those occasions that he offered us the opportunity to sit together in the legendary Butokuden of Kyoto, to talk about his personal relation to Aikido for over an hour.

Moving on to the 4th part of Christian Tissier's interview, in which we talk about how one can find his/her own place in life through Aikido and what place Christian Tissier found for himself throughout his life.
This is a turning point in this interview, where Christian Tissier starts explaining his philosophy, a philosophy that goes far beyond Aikido practice.
